The Appeal
The MG TF, despite being the final iteration of the T-series, was a distinctly classic-looking car even when it hit the market - with its straight-faced radiator giving pre-war aesthetics a bit of a last hurrah before the rise of more modern styling. The old-fashioned looks disguised a rather perky, characterful roadster, however, and it got plenty of attention - particularly in the United States, where most of them were sent.
This example has been kept in the UK for its entire life, is reassuringly original, and has been maintained by the same owner since 2012. As a result, it's a particularly thoroughbred example that we're sure will turn heads.
